Grandma J's in Phoenix and Eli's Birthday!

We scheduled our flight for the evening after we left Mexico so that we would be able to spend some time visiting Grandma J. We met her and Chris Thursday night at a mexican resturaunt in Mesa for dinner and then went back to her house for cake. We were able to celebrate 3 birthdays at once (Lise and Chris on the 11th, and Eli on the 12th). It was great to spend some time with Grandma J., because we had not visited her at her home home since before Nora was born.

 

Of course, the girls were excited about the chance to go swimming, so we spent some time in the clubhouse pool before we left. It was a great day for it and the girls really enjoyed the chance to practice their swimming skills.

 

Eli had fun being in the pool for a while too, but he mainly wanted to crawl around on the edge of the pool showing off his curly hair and new swimming suit.

 

Eli decided to pose for a baby sunscreen advertisement.

 

Of course we needed to get a picture of the kids with Grandma J. while we were there. It was great to be able to visit her, and the kids loved being there and seeing all of her neat collections.

 

This also gave us the chance to get a 4 generation picture with Grandma J. and the birthday boy. Thank you grandma for letting us stay at your house. It was great to be able to visit!
